A special telegram from Philadelphia TO
this paper says Leading officials of the
Pennsylvania Railroad said yesterday in ref
erence to the projected completion Of the
South Penn Railroad by its original hackers
that they were ready.to go on with the case

were ready Counsel for the South Penn are
now preparing the necessary answers and
expect 10 have them finished next month.
The time occupied by the courts may carry
the case far into the fall, 50 that the owners
of the property, even though they obtain
favorable decision. may not be able TO make
any new move in the direction Of eomplet-

PfrTsBURGH. July 14-South Penn mat
tiers were receiving much attention in local
financial circles to day, and the fact leaked
out that the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany had sent letter to each of the stock
holders who participated IN the Vanderbilt
deal requesting them to sign no document,
take no part IN any scheme for the recon-
struction OF the South Penn. or do anything
affecting their status in that enterprise with
out first consulting with the officials Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad The latter corpora
fiou, il Was stated had some rights IN The
premises which must not be- ignored The
minority stockholders say that the policy of
the Pennsylvania now is 20 secure As much
delay and retard the binding of the road as
long as they cam As to the assertion that
nothing can be done toward the construc-
ton of the line until some time in 1855, if
even then. It is stated that work Will be
continued the coming winter on the tunnels
and heavy stone cuttings and that the road
can be completed ready for the rolling stock
within fifteen months from the time work is
regularly resumed The new agreement has
already been signed by majority of the

Information on ChineSe-Caucasian society in
Chicago than | cam
Inquiry was made of several Chinamen as
to how many of the race in Chicago were
provided with wives, but a singular ignor-
ance seemed to prevail on the subject There
are, however, several Chinawomen in Chi
cage; one being the wife of a laundryman
on South Clark street. The children born
OF Chmese-Caucasian parents are remarka-
bly, pretty. The features retain just enough
OF the mongolian cast to give them pleasing
uniqueness, while the complexion is a
delicate tint, deeper than the olive of
the Spaniard, and more exquisite in
coloring than the dark flush of the creole
The eyes are deep blue black, very bright,
with an intelligent expression. The hair is
dark, but when the mother is a blonde, as
was the case of the little one seen by the re-
porter, the threads of hair were fine as silk
skelns. The admixture of the races pro-
duces an individual much more perfect in
picturesque beauty than any other combina-
ton of race families seen in this country.
AT the rate of six marriages in sixteen
months, however, there is but little danger
of the land being overrun with a hybrid
population of this variety
